    The PSP / PlayStation Portable was awesome, Sony's handheld was the closest anyone ever got to sharing the space with Nintendo's Game Boys and DS(es) and I love the thing. Anyways it somehow got around 2000 games, SO HERES A BUNCH OF ONES TIME MIGHT HAVE FORGOTTEN.

    Apologies if some of the audio sounds off *again* in this video. Right after my trip I caught the plague at a bowling alley and it knocked me out for dang near two weeks. HOWEVER, we're back in the saddle now. I'm really excited for what we're doing over the next month and a half and I hope you enjoy watching it!
    Also, what's your favorite PSP Game? Legit mine is probably one of the many many extremely solid remakes. BUT, I will play Jeanne d'Arc ANYDAY.

    The PSP will forever hold a place in my heart, I grew up poor so I never had much; I went into school and a few kids had it and I was so upset I didn’t, I cried when I got home and my dad asked me what’s wrong, I told him about the PSP and he bought it for me the next month as a surprise, he worked extra shifts that entire month just so he could buy it for me, my father passed away this year ❤

Heck, you could use it as an mp3 player and even watch movies on it... back then! Sony has the tech and the money. They should make a PSP 2 to compete with the Steam Deck.

    Work Time Fun is more of a WarioWare style game, and I love it! I spent countless hours playing the game, trying to unlock all of the minigames via the Gachapon machines.
    Honestly, with Sony putting PS1 and PSP games on PS4 and PS5, I hope it comes to the consoles eventually, so I can do it all again!
    Also, the Ramen Timer in that game is meme worthy as all holy hell.
    Plus, the cover art looks like the character Dr Tran from MondoMedia, which is what initially brought the game to my attention, since I loved those shorts when I was a teen.

    One of my fav PSP games I hardly hear anybody talk about is Fate/Extra. (Its characters certainly haven't been forgotten, Nero is EVERYWHERE in Japan thanks to F/GO) It's an excellent visual novel with a neat little rock paper scissors dungeon crawler tacked on. It has one of the most consistently BANGIN soundtracks I've ever heard with that sweet electronic jazz. It's got a remake that's been in development forever, hopefully that'll be a great way for people to finally check it out.

    • @boobah5643
      @boobah5643 6 месяцев назад +2

      _Fate/Extra_ has a couplethree sequels. One was an RPG set between, IIRC, the prologue and main game proper, and then a series of Dynasty Warrior clones (that were so delayed that they were supposed to introduce a character who had shown up in _F/GO_ years earlier.)
      I'd also argue that introducing Elizabeth Bathory was arguably more impactful; Nero is just another Saber clone (and a bait-and-switch for the low information consumer.)

      I tried Fate/Extra back in like, 2014 cause I got into the Fate/ rabbit hole, but the battle system really takes me out of the experience tbh.
      Everything else range from fine to good, but the battle system is just not good enough to be the main thing you do for the majority of the game

      Bought this because I wanted another Persona-style game, and I like the rock-paper-scissors-combat and the entire having to guess the boss's true name. Never got far in it though.
      Apparently, there is a remake in the works for this game, but screenshots seem to suggest that it uses a different combat system.

    It’s so awesome hearing someone talk about how amazing, and a bit strange, the PSP is. It’s my second favourite console of all time (only behind the Vita which is just the PSP deluxe and running a psp emu on it makes it a two in one) and people really don’t talk about how awesome it was and honestly still is.
    The reference to Pangya truly made my day. It’s one of my favourite games of all time, having played it when I was as young as three.
    Seeing Fat Princess here too was just amazing, I adore Fistful of Cake so much and I always go back to it when I just want to have some quick fun.

  • @KevinCow
    @KevinCow 6 месяцев назад +7

    Motorstorm: Arctic Edge was pretty rad. It was a full proper Motorstorm game on a handheld, and the snow theme made it feel like a distinct entry and not just a watered down handheld spinoff. Despite being on the weakest hardware, I think it's the second best in the series, behind Pacific Rift.
    Also Resistance Retribution is worth mentioning alongside Killzone Liberation. I remember it being one of the more successful attempts at doing a traditional shooter on the PSP.

    Generation of Chaos and Aedis Eclipse were my favorite games on the PSP. They were like Fire Emblem but with a dash of Mario Party and also the characters have signature super moves that they call out the names of as they attack.

    Anytime the PSP comes up I just think about Loco Roco and The 3rd Birthday. The former being so cute and quirky and amazing. The latter being a much bigger monster. Weird gameplay mechanics and story that makes ZERO sense and a little too much inappropriate fanservice. Still absolutely loved that game. Also been using Dr. Squatch exclusively for about 3 years now :) great stuff!

  • @ccricers
    @ccricers 6 месяцев назад +3

    Two of my big favorites on PSP are Jeanne D'Arc and Hot Shots Golf: Open Tee. (I didn't play Pangya on PSP but on PC when it was known as Albatross 18). Jeanne D'Arc is made by Level-5, who made Dark Cloud and Dragon Quest VIII. It's a fun strategy RPG that is quick to pick up for newbies of the genre as it doesn't go very deep into detail but it's still great fun.

  • @SoundsideSherry
    @SoundsideSherry 6 месяцев назад +4

    I wasn't super into the PSP, but I *did* have a chance to try a hidden gem by the name of Crush. It's a puzzle-platformer that's like a combination of Super Paper Mario's 2D/3D flipping mechanic and Fez's perspective rotation, and yet it actually predated both of those games. It's also got this really striking "dark/twisted comic book" visual style, and the music uses all kinds of wild distortion effects, which really suits the idea of going into the main character's mind to find the root of his issues and quite literally collect his lost marbles.
    It definitely flew under the radar, and I don't think the developers at Zoe Mode worked on many other titles besides it.

It was a 3D puzzle platformer where you had to rotate the level to get to certain areas, kind of like in Fez. Echochrome and Echoshift were also really nice puzzle games with a very minimalist art style. Psp also had many great racing games, such as Burnout games, Gran Turismo and Motorstorm Arctic Edge.

    As far as forgotten PS2 games go, I do feel like RAD Robotic Alchemical Drive is one of them, it was published by Enix before they got absorbed by Square Soft and it's an example of a hidden gem on one of the most biggest consoles ever. Another I can think of is Cold Fear and The Thing game, cause Survival Horror was quite vast on the PS2, including some that fell off the radar and don't get talked about much.

    My Me game, a.k.a Edgelord Teenager Me, was Undead Knights. A hack n slash game during the zombie craze of the late 00s. But you can actually use the zombies in a bit of a Pikmin style...? All while listening to some licensed Metal soundtrack.
    But I loooved playing the ports the PSP have. THUG 2, Guilty Gear, Metal Slug Anthology, Smackdown vs Raw 06, Twisted Metal Head On.
    Add to all that you could... 'customize' your PSP, and play any PS1 game on the go... Beautiful.
    Great video!

    If I have ever seen a PSP irl, it was in 2006 or something. Everyone quickly decided the different Nintendo handhelds were better. Sure enough, at the local second-hand store, they sell like 6 PSP games, but 260 Nintendo DS games. (They don't even sell the PSP itself, either, but almost every Nintendo handheld released before the Switch.)

    The Death Jr games and Infected were my usual go-tos on the handheld and it's a shame they never got ported (well, one of the Death Jr ganes did, onto the Wii, but still).

    The DJ Max series for the PSP was one of my go2 for rhythm game alongside Patapon and Loco Roco.
    The Gundam Vs Gundam series was also another great arcade game. It had so many gundams from different eras battling out. Massive boss fights and even co-op so you can play with a friend.
    If I wanted to scratch my racing itch it would be Rockstar's Midnight Club LA Remix, with that free roam world and street races alongside the decent soundtrack.
    But of course Monster Hunter series was the game I spent the most on. Just hearing *Pokke village* soundtrack and *Proof of a hero* hits me with so much nostalgia.

    This definitely deserves a second video, there's many weirder and more forgotten games than Sonic Rivals and Metal Gear Acid. Just one example, Rengoku: Tower of Purgatory and its sequel. I feel like no one ever talks about it, and I had tons of fun playing it back then.

    Honestly, what drew me to Dead Head Fred in the first place was him being voiced by John McGinley. The game also acknowledged that he's best known as Dr Cox, since he makes a reference to it in the credits scene.

    Mega Man Powered Up is one of those remakes with an insane amount of content that just is like how did this not sell like hotcakes? Literally added two new robot masters to the original game, gave you all the robot masters as playable characters, plus roll, and proto man. voice acting etc... it's too bad that they didn't bring some of those things forward into the future games.

  • @ali14chahrour
    @ali14chahrour 6 месяцев назад

    You forgot about the "No Heroes Allowed!" series. Also known as "Holy Invasion of Privacy, Badman! What did I do to Deserve This!?" series. Its like if you mixed Dungeon Keeper with an ant farm / simant type game with RPG elements and so much more. It's the most unique series of games I've ever played personally and they're massively underrated. I only have a PSP to keep it loaded with all 3 of the games and Patapon. You can play the 3rd game (my favorite personally) on ps4 right now and theres a VR game for PSVR, but other than that, they're almost completely forgotten.

    Gladiator: The Beginning, is a great PSP game that I played a lot that is a completely hidden gem. It's an arena brawler with multiple ending, that allows you to use anything in the arena as a weapon, including the armor you dismantle from your enemies mid combat. You can then upgrade these "weapons" to actually be really deadly lol. It's a great game.

  • @pirateFinn
    @pirateFinn 6 месяцев назад

    oh my GODS I am so glad you mentioned Coded Arms (and its sequel), I loved those.
    My personal PSP favourite probably has to go to Ace Combat X, a surprisingly well designed portable version of the Ace Combat formula; Medievil Resurrection is also a rather lovely ambitious remake on the original game. Some aren't a fan of the added mascot character of sorts though, but I do enjoy the narration from Tom Baker.

  • @sevenheavenhavengaming
    @sevenheavenhavengaming 6 месяцев назад +4

    PSP was awesome! It's an underrated portable system! I think that it's one of the best portable systems alongside the Nintendo 3DS with awesome games in its library. I remember spending a lot of time playing Dissidia Final Fantasy on that thing. I also enjoyed the Mega Man Powered Up game. I wished Capcom ported that to next gen systems and PC.

    I personally own about 200 psp games, that console was my jam. It came out right as I was going in to high-school, I was finally working and had money, all my gamer friends had one, the psp goes hand in hand for me with my high-school experience. I bought basically every game I could get my hands on for about 5 years straight, I own 90% of all the games you mentioned. I bought dead head fred first week cuz it had Dr. Cox in it, I'll never forget Snake shooting a laser out of the top of his head in Acid 2 when you use the Metal Gear card, Rengoku II was played every day at lunch by my friend group, ad hoc was something special. The amount of hours and psps I've gone through is insane, think I own about 7 or so maybe 3 still working. I always find it strange so many channels barely acknowledge the psp or just have little to say about it so I was very stoked to see this was your new vid, unapologetic psp gamer for life!
